I had a great time at SPX last year, and there’s nothing like coming back from a trip to make me want to immediately start planning my next one. From what I can tell, though, there don’t seem to be any rooms available. Initially I thought this might just be a glitch with the host hotel’s site, but I’ve checked a couple of travel reservation spots, and it shows up as booked there as well.
Maybe they just haven’t released the rooms for booking yet? Is there another huge event at the venue that same weekend? Or has the terrifying success of NYCC migrated to the Mid-Atlantic to claim all our souls and crush us under its awesome power?
There don’t seem to be very many other lodging alternatives nearby. (The only other hotel that shows up on the Yahoo map apparently hasn’t inspired many happy memories in the people who have stayed there.)
Updated to note: You need to put in the SPX event code when checking availability. The only rooms left are in the show’s block, so you might want to reserve early. Thanks, Greg!

It’s Monday, so there’s a new Flipped up where I don’t gush shamelessly about the books in question. For a change.
